Elliot Scientific has been signed by Oxford Lasers to promote its Alpha table-top laser micromachining system.
Cutting, milling and drilling operations can be carried out on metals, ceramics or polymers within a compact Class 1 enclosure.
Alpha is suitable for research and development applications and for the small-scale production of parts up to 8in in diameter.
It has been designed to aid process development, small-scale production and sample preparation within university labs or prototype shops.
The micromachining centre is supplied with Oxford Lasers' Cimita, a software interface that brings vision, motion and laser control together to give Alpha many features found in larger systems.
The initial combination of laser, scanners, stages and trepanning heads are determined by the properties of the material and the complexities of the shapes to be machined.
These parts can be upgraded or changed as requirements expand.
